Default Will it fly?

I recently put 21cc conversion engine on a high wing plane,(too much free time is an awful thing) and am wondering if you guys think it will fly. The wing area is 720 square inches, fully symmetrical, with flaps, and it weighs 9lbs dry. I cut the firewall back 2 inches so as not to have to add any weight to the tail. The engine spins a 16x6apc @ 7200rpm. I believe the plane is an old GP pt-60. I don't expect 3D capability, but am wondering if it will even get off the ground. I plan to maiden it tomorrow, but was hoping to get some ideas as to what to expect . Thanks in advance guys.
